Modern Chinese Literature

This course offers a critical examination of 20th-century Chinese literature, with a focus on the important developments of literary writing over time, from the inception of New Literature in the 1910s, the development of realism and modernism in the 1930s, to the emergency of post-revolution and postmodernist writings in the 1990s. Emphasis is placed on generating a dialogue on interpretations of key works.
